The liking for surpliced choirs, or
vested" choirs, as they are now beginning
to be called, is rapidly becoming custom
in the Episcopal church. Moreover, this
style of choir, though of course without
the supplies, is also beginning to be tried
in many nom Episcopal Protestant churches
with somewhat doubtful success. The
fact is, as an accomplished musician said
the other day. q choir of men and boys if
not very good is simply intolerable; and
it is no exaggeration to say that large
percentage of those now in existence are
not good, and in the nature of the case
can not possibly be good. 1t is well, there
fore, that the average chure e IS
were he would often suffer the most ex-
cruciatipg agony when he went 20 church.

Successor and CIeveIand's Chances.
Washington Special
I met Colonel Dudley, the welI-known
ex-CommissiOner of Pensions, Saturday.
He was on the eve of his departure West,
where he has secured the contract to build
q fve-mile cable road at ST. Paul MINI.
He said: Il am going West to try and make
some money. You know as well as any man
how have gotten along in the last twelve
years. 1 have made no money, and the
reason is simply because l have been In
politics. Ny case is more than fair IL
lustrahon. have been about as success
full IN politics as most men, and great
deal more than many. l have held very
good public offices for many years and still
/ have lived from hand to mouth. 1t costs
money 10 get and keep political offices,
and il does not pay. Yes, sir, have made
up my mind to stay out OF politics in the
future. am satisfied in my experience
of the last two years that can make twice
as much money in engaging in private
business pursuits"

land succeed himselfP'

as much partisan Commissioner of Pen
sions as it was charged ] was. The only
difference is that did favors and acts
openly and above board for my party
friends and party that he is doing under
cover. 1 was not afraid to stand by and
help my party friends IN an open manner
under any and all circumstances. The men
here, now running the Government, as you
well know, are afraid to appoint party
friend 10 an Office and say frankly the ap
pointment was made because the appointed
man was Democrat. have studied pol
itics the best part of my life, and do mo-
believe that any party can long hold power

A Murderous Attack.

CINCINNATI, April 26.-Henry Heile, liv-
ing with his wife and two young children
at 61S Sycamore street, this lmorning made
a murderous attack on his wife with
Ratchet, telling her 10 the floor. He then
went to the bed where the children were
lying and aimed q blow at them. The
mother, recovering consciousness in time to
see the danger, threw herself between the
descending weapon and her children. The
blade struck her thick roll of hair, thus
breaking its force. Her husband then for
a moment desisted, while his wife threw
open the window and screamed for
help. This seemed to brighten her husband,
who dropped the Ratchet, fed to the
kitchen, where he cut his throat with a
butcher knife. Mr.. Heile has been mildly
insane for nearly year.

whose crop was lighter and later, did not
lose much from this cause.
AS TO the clover sickness spoken OF in
several articles. can not agree with toe
writers; and yet, had 1 read such articles
along from 1872 to 1880, ! might have been
led to believe such statements. at the
present time on the sixty-five acres (where
have known two tons Of clover hay cut
per acre u any times, previous to the
present method of farming) it looks as il
land were clover sick. The past year
cut two and one-fourth tons of clover and
timothy hay to the acre, and several buy
els would not take it, as they said there
was not enough timothy in it to make it
marketable. 1 think it was certainly two
thirds clover.
I will not say that there is no such
thing as "lost fertility" or "clover sick
ness" There may be, on soils that l am
rot acquainted with; but with me l feel
certain that thorough cultivation has re-
stored lost fertility and cured clover sick
ness since the year 1879.
It goes to show that we do not all have
the same kind of soil, nor the same eli
matte or other influences; and therefore
we are not competent to advise each other
as to the best methods of managing our
laUds

Classification OF Breeds of Pigs.

American Agr1culturist.
There has been great confusion in the
names of these, owing to their being called
after the different counties, towns and
estates where bred, although differing little
or nothing IN color or characteristics. In
consequence of this, the agricultural socie-
ties in Great Britain have recently deter
mined to put an end to these numerous
names. and now reduce the whole to about
eight classes. They have taken all the white
swine Of the kingdom and amalgamated
them into three breeds, designating them as
Small Whites" In the same manner they
have named the black swine, although
there is not so great difference in the re.
spective weights rs with the whites. The
three former vary, full grown, from about
500 to 900 pounds. Some few have
attained still larger weights, even as
high as 200 pounds; but the pork of
such is coarse and of inferior quality, and
therefore latterly avoided. The three latter
vary, full-grown, only about $50 to 700
pounds. In consequence of their being
more particularly adapted to turn out ten
der, lean, luicy hams and shoulders for
smoking, and side-pieces for bacon, the
Berkshire and the Tamworth breeds are to
be kept distinct as now; for the former
| have more or less white mingled with their
black, and the TamWOrth Teddish-brOWn
spots on a rather dirty underground. The
latter are supposed to be descended from
the large, old, original Berkshires, before
the new improved breed was formed by
! crossing them with the Siamese, for they
ere marked like them, and still grow, when
| kept to full maturity, to their great weight
OF 500 TO eco pounds. or, IN a few instances,
/ still heavier; but it generally takes from
two to two and half years to attain such
| growth. The improved Berkshire natures
/ at twelve to eighteen months, and then
varies from 800 to 600 pounds; a few,
though rarely, attain 700 pounds. We wish
| the above classifcations of the breeds oil
swine could be adopted by our own agri
| cultural societies.

w ALKING ON THE WATER.
The Feat Successfully Accom-
plished i'm Philadelphia.

Professor Alphonse King gave a
private exhibition Of his aquatic pow
ers off the steamer landing at the
Geological Gardens yesterday after
noon. The professor walks on the
water clad in aquatic shoes of his own
invention with the same ease pedes-
trian walks down Chestnut street.
The exhibition was given under the
personal direction of Manager G. A.
Bradenburgh and Press Agent w.
Fielding, OF the Dime Museum. 1t was
almost five O'Clock when the professor
appeared in his shoes, which much
resembled miniature gondolas, thirty
two inches long, eight inches wide
and nine inches high. Paddles on
the bottom of the shoes resembling
fish fins assisted the walker in his
travels.
There was a big crowd on both
banks of the Schuylkill when the man
began his trip. He started from the
steamboat wharf and walked to the
center of the river. Apparently it re-
quired no more effort than walking OH
the pavement. When in the center
of the river he raised his hat in answer
to the cheers of the crowd on shore,
and signaled to a boat which was tow
ing queer-looking machine called an
aquatic bicycle. On the front wheel
paddles like those of u steamboat were
arranged, and the machine was
balanced on each side by
narrow cigar-shaped cylinders.
The professor stepped from his
shoes and mounted the bicycle. II
course was down the river as far as the
lighthouses. When that point was
reached he turned and chased the
steamer Gazelle up the river. His
speed was about ten miles an hour.
He made a sharp turn round ono of
the piers of the Girard avenue bridge,
and returned to the starting point.
This exhibition of walking aud riding
on the water was the first attended
with success in this country. Prof.
King is under engagement to walk
from Bedloe's Island to the Brooklyn
approach to the suspension bridge
which spans the East river. In this
he will be backed by fhe managers OF
the Philadelphia Dime Museum.

OAKLAND,
BEAUTIFUL :!

California abounds in choice resi-
dence locations, but of them all Oak
land and vicinity is incomparably the
finest. 1t has every advantage. Its
climate is most enjoyable, being never
uncomfortably warm nor disagreeably
cool. Its many charming drives, its
beautiful lawns embowered in per-
feet wealth of ever blooming flowers,
and its magnificent, soul-inspiring
views are the wonder and admiration
of all travellers. In healthfulness it
surpasses all cities of the United
States, its death rate averaging only
IA per 1000. Its educational facilities
are thorough and complete, embrac cling
all classes from the lowest grades to
the State University, and Jar surpass-
ing those of any other location on the
coast. Then it is within 30 minutes of
San Francisco and has half-hourly and
splendid communication Herewith.
Furthermore, it is backed and sur
rounded by the finest country in the

Its advantages as a manufacturing
site are drawing to it many of the
chief industries OF the State. And it
is the natural and inevitable terminus
of all transcontinental railroads enter
ing the State. Finally, though rising in
value, land is still cheap compared
with locations of much less merit, and
thus for homes or investment presents
splendid opportunities.
